Art as Idea
David Ostrem

This exhibition of works by David Ostrem are all about idea - they range from the early 1980’s silkscreens like Orange Wall and Bo Diddley (Works Festival poster image!) through his skillful pencil crayon drawings depicting art and life as seen through his eyes and the magazines and newspapers he has been reading to the lyrical and humorful Wink and Vue canvases that allude to girlie magazines and other collected publications.

A Question of Time
Edward Beckett

Beckett’s artistic explorations have involved the representation of the unseen but felt powers and influences in our daily lives. The process of delving into the depiction of unseen communication has led him to the discovery of time as a subject. This exhibit features Beckett’s three-dimensional work.

The Colour of My People
Frederick McDonald

Frederick McDonald's work is a mixture of styles and expressions; allowing him greater opportunity to have a discourse within many segments of the Canadian mosaic. He uses colours and symbols to capture the experiences, the characteristics and the spirituality of his people.

MOLIOR: to set in motion 
Quebec New Media Artists: Francoise Lavoie Pilote, Eveline Le Calvez, and Neam Cathod

The artists of Molior come from various disciplinary backgrounds; music, poetry, cinema, contemporary and acrobatic dance. Their works reveal a common device: they involve a gesture, act or motion on the visitor’s or viewer’s part, this device serves and furthers their narrative.
